If the article is any indication of what's really going to happen to 
Gila Bend, then the halcyon days of Sentinel are soon to be but a fond 
memory. Once that happens, I suspect that some of the telescopes on Kitt 
Peak will be considering closing down, and possibly moving to a state / 
country with darker skies.  The light dome from Phoenix is already very 
threatening to Kitt Peak, so having another one much closer certainly 
isn't good news.
